Challenger Disaster

So we have established that bad communication played a part in the Challenger Disaster. It was the engineers who couldn't communicate with NASA good enough to be able to delay the launch because the O-rings were not effective with the cold weather. NASA just could not relate to their concerns because they were pressured to schedule launches to satisfy the media and the public.

Believe it or not, I just heard about this tragedy yesterday when I was doing the English assignment for it. This whole thing really made me think and it all happened two years before I was born. I was so interested on this subject I did some research. Apparently there are some myths concerning the disaster. Technically the shuttle did not really explode. Few people actually saw it on TV and investigators actually discovered that the crew did not die instantly in 73 sec.

I'd recommend reading this. It was a good read
